PERRIAMS POWER RANKINGS
28 APRIL 2025
Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.
WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS
The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".
Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer.
When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow.
1. Auckland AFC have locked in the A-Leagues Premier Plate in their season debut. How good, and with an average attendance of 17,591 in their 12 home games.
2. The Crusaders are now running equal 1st with the Chiefs in Super Rugby after a commanding win over arch rivals, the Highlanders, over the weekend.
3. What happened to having another short week? We were just getting the hang of them!
THE PACESETTER - 28 APRIL 2025
SPOTLIGHT
Our sentencing rules, you purposely take a life then you should be jailed for life – no exceptions.
HOT TOPIC
What’s all the hype about cottage cheese? Fonterra has indicated their sales are up over 60% compared to the same time last year. This is driven by social media influencers, but who’s behind the influence I ask? Maybe it’s Fonterra!
SPORTIFY
Warriors mark Anzac Day in style with a 26-12 win over the Newcastle Knights. What a great turnout from the Christchurch crowd, a sell out. It all bodes well for next year’s new stadium.
OPINION
Have you thought about buying those surplus Easter eggs now left over on the shelves from Easter? You can get them for about half price and lock them away in the cupboard until next year - not a bad investment! Not only that, a professor of nutrition at the University of Auckland says many eggs can last until next year.
GEM OF THE WEEK
“Rivals don’t take your business, they make your business.” – Sir Steve Redgrave
OF INTEREST
You're never far from the ocean in New Zealand, with the most inland point being only 119km from the sea. Maybe that’s why there’s never a fish and chip shop too far from home!
THE MARKETS
Tony Alexander in his latest blog comments that our weaker growth is constraining business margins, which he says are at a half-century low. He predicts a further wave of business liquidations still to come in 2025. ☹
